In this first issue of the redesigned
Popular Woodworking Magazine, the cover project is a reproduction of a
White Water Shaker Stepback built by senior editor Glen D. Huey. We profile
Clark & Williams, Plane Makers, and explore the late 17th-century style of
William & Mary as well as the craftsmanship of the 18th-century cabinetmaker
Thomas Day. Senior editor Robert W. Lang explores
How Tables Work and a
Sunken Treasure of ancient Honduran mahogany is reclaimed from the rivers of Belize. George R. Walker in his Design Matters column helps us in
Making Sense of Forms, while Bob Flexner differentiates
An Array of Lacquers. We test the
Rob Cosman Dovetail Saw in our Tool Test, and this issue's I Can Do That project is a sturdy, swedish
Skansen Bench. Plus reader Letters, Tricks of the Trade, On the Level, and a Glossary.
